I don't know about gmail's workings, but other systems might do that
sort of trick by checking the unique message IDs in each posts. If an
incoming message's matches a sent message's, it's supposedly the same
message. Usenet clients can use that technique to not double up on your
own messages in its database.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
